Magazine Lili was featured in tons of magazines, mostly in the 1950's. Magazines such as "Cabaret" and "Gala" focused mainly on burlesque and "adult entertainment", of which of course Lili was a staple. The other large portion of Lili's magazine apearances comes from scandal magazines. With names like "Night and Day", and "Confidential", modern tabloids haven't strayed far from the formula that they began. Stories about her many marraiges and divorces, arrests for indecency, and even some that paint her in a positive light ran frequently in these publications. The Pin Up Zone has a good listing of her magazine appearances.

Irving Klaw Lili St. Cyr was the headlining attraction of Irving Klaw's two feature films, Teaserama and Varietease. While in the studio, they would run her routine once for the motion picture, and then again to take stills, shown here. Although she only visited the Klaw's Movie Star News studio twice, there are tons of photos from these sessions, and are still commercially available today.

 

Portraits I don't have information for all of the photos contained here. A large majority of them were taken by Bruno Bernard, also known as Bernard of Hollywood. Some are movie stills from any of several films she was in.

 

Lingerie Ads When Lili retired from the burlesque routine, she began another business which allowed her to use her creativity and classy sense of style. Thus "The Undie World of Lili St. Cyr" was born. With beautiful designs, excellent quality, and a celebrity designer and model, she gave Fredericks of Hollywood a run for their money. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who owns any of these garments, or comes across them in a secondhand store. I would love to see some photos of the actual thing.
